From the Perchtoldsdorf Heath to the Josefswarte
Sunday, April 19, 2026 • 11:05 • Bus stop Sonnbergstraße (Bus 255)
Our first stop on our April hike is the Perchtoldsdorf Heath
at the Zieselwiese. We continue through mixed and pine forests. We will also pause at a
viewpoint – the Josefswarte with a beautiful view over Vienna and into the Vienna Basin.
Our last stop is at the Steinbruchsee Fischerwiesen – after which we make our way back to the bus stop.
During the mindful hike we have the opportunity to walk together in silence
and listen to nature. During rest breaks there is time for exchange.
Throughout the hike we practice various mindfulness practices from the Plum Village tradition of Zen
Master Thich Nhat Hanh: listening to the bell, second body, mindful eating, mindful sharing,
Dharma text, dwelling in nature and – when it feels right – communal singing.
No previous experience is necessary – only openness. The walking pace adapts to the group, and we
wait for each other.
